Having to give up on my main plot (10'X12') outside my fence. After 20 + years, its productivity dipped tremendously. I suspect the bad nematodes based on the nodules on the roots. Waiting for the Garlic to finish, then spray with neme oil stuff, plow it up, more neme oil, and cover with black plastic, and cook it. Moved to pots in the meantime. All inside my fence, which is more convenient access, and saves me from having to put clothes on.
Had a few tomatoes, but the heat is already curtailed further production. Peppers been pretty good and a lone eggplant. Some very short stemmed cucumber plants doing pretty well. Herbs like Rosemary/Oregano/Sage/Thyme do well as usual. Squash was a bust, as usual. squash vine borers know how to find them. I thought maybe it would be ok in a giant pot with Oregano, but nope.
I but up shade cloth on one side, because the heat gonna kill everything. Just got to keep it limping thru the next couple months and hopefully make it to Fall time.

I'll get a photo tomorrow when I go out to pick before the birds eat them all. might have enough to make a small batch of jam.
the garlic is starting to send up scapes. should be ready in 4 weeks.
how is everyone's garden this year?
We really don't have one. Our backyard is being turned into a wildflower meadow. Alison did buy one tomato plant to put on the patio. our serviceberries are trees. Three of them around our front patio (put in since you guys were here). We also have a sour cherry tree in the front yard.

End of June would be too late for me, but I like the idea of staggering plantings. Would the leaf spot from the earlier older plants infect the younger? Or is it just age related like everything I have? Might be worth a try.
honestly, I never tried this. lol I'm sick of tomatoes by the end of the first round. but I believe the virus is worse mid-season. pull up old plants before planting new.
Iwas going to try it this year, but my plants actually held on until september this year. I think it might have been the shade cloth reduced the usual stress.

The tomatoes did what they always do. They start to yield at the end of July and shortly afterwards we have bucket loads. But in a few weeks the plants start to die (brown leaves) & they're done before September. Maybe I need to spray them with something, but I haven't.

How is everyone's gardens?
we're in a really bad drought right now. wildfires. weather is way too warm for this time of year, the leaves are still clinging to the trees but the color has been nice.
We kicked but on tomatoes and peppers this year. We had a bunch of Anaheims that we roasted, and I had a weird unknow chili that came as a mis-lable in a flat that was supposed to be a shishito. The cold set in early and I didn't get them all off the plant before we left town. I'm heading back in December and curious to see what's left when I return (I'll pull all the plants down then too).
Now I'm in the land of Mangos and Avacados. No garden here though, maybe next year.

the drought didn't start until after the garden was done. the last rain was sometime in September. we went 45ish days without measurable rain before we had a small 3/8 inch a few days ago.
we did have a a bunch o' heatwaves this summer though. I had to use southern gardening methods to get through. Shade cloths to for the win! Never had to use those before but they worked great!
